- Sorry, I'm not sure how to convert time into samples. I'm sure it's a simple formula, I just don't know it.
If you know the location in the file, you can always enter the offset and right click it to convert bytes to samples.
- by hcs at 9:20 AM EDT on October 9, 2012
- samples = time * sample rate
sample rate is samples/second, seconds * samples/second = samples
[edit] on second thought this seems way too obvious, maybe I misunderstand what the issue is.

- So as an example a 60 second song at 44.1KHZ would be 2646000 samples right?
If so then yeah you're right about that being some what obvious now that I look at it however I had never thought of having to work this kind of thing out before so it just caused me to go blank.

- Heya! First of all I'd like to say that vgmstream is fantastic, it's seriously one of the best things ever.
However, I've been wondering what the latest versions have been adding? The readme doesn't change at all, but I do see that the file sizes are increasing. In particular I'd like to know any changes to test.exe, since I'm using that for my program (can't use DLLs).
So are the latest version just more stable or fast? Or are there other changes that just haven't been added to the readme?
- by hcs at 12:58 PM EDT on October 10, 2012
- It's mostly just been new format support, check out the change log.
- by puggsoy at 1:43 PM EDT on October 10, 2012
- Oh OK, cool. I'll have to check that out whenever a new version is released then, and see if it's significant enough to update my program.
Thanks!

- Hello! I've been trying to do my own rip of the .dsp audio in Megaman X Command Mission using in_vgmstream, but running into problems at every turn.
Certain tracks loop erratically with in_cube...lots of early loops plus even some late loops with a screechy interlude. With the latest version of vgmstream, none of the looping tracks play at all (and test.exe fails to open them). Even the tracks that in_cube looped correctly (as far as I could tell) don't open.
I'm new to this, so I don't even know whether vgmstream is known to not work with some DSP audio or what. Oh, and I also tried old in_dsp plugins, and they did incorrect loops just like in_cube.
- by Mouser X at 8:58 PM EST on November 19, 2012
- For whatever reason, the DSP files from MMX:CM and MMNT don't seem to play "correctly". As in, last I heard, they were being read/played correctly, but the data within the files themselves was poor (how this could be has always confused me, since the files obviously work within the game itself). So, instead of ripping the NGC version, the PS2 version (of MMX:CM) was ripped. And that game uses ADXs, which are a lot easier to handle anyway.
That said, I haven't tried to play the DSPs from MMX:CM, since the ADXs work just fine. Perhaps it's time for those files to be looked at again, and maybe they can be played back correctly now. Personally, I would recommend you just get the ADX files from the PS2 game. But if you're interested in MMNT, then you might be out of luck.
Obviously, my post didn't really answer your concern, but hopefully it does provide a useful "work around". Mouser X over and out.
- by Friendly Blob at 2:35 AM EST on November 25, 2012
- Thanks for that. I figured it was one of those rare exceptions, and especially since a rip of the PS2 version was easily possible, I doubted whether there would be particular interest.
It's fine, though. In the end, I found a lossless upload of the Japanese soundtrack release, and then used vgmstream to rip the tracks it was missing...which were coincidentally all ones it was able to loop properly (or that didn't loop).
Since it's such a limited problem, I don't think there's much good reason to look into the DSPs more.

- by hcs at 10:22 PM EST on November 28, 2012
- It's true that vgmstream has no support for breaking down brstms, but it ought to be able to decode any of them. You can use the command line decoder (test.exe) to isolate pairs of stereo channels, the option is -2. ("test.exe -2 0" for the first pair, "test.exe -2 1" for the next, etc.)
- by Knurek at 11:16 AM EST on December 4, 2012
- I've been taking a look at some PS2 games, and I run into some problems, maybe someone here will be able to help:
FIFA 2001.str: Early FIFA Soccer games seem to use weird variant of EA streams, which gets detected by VGMStream as Nintendo DSP.
Fatal Fury - Battle Archives Volume 2.SVAG: FastElbja's player detects this as a Stereo VAG and can decode it to WAV properly. VGMStream doesn't (I've tried VAG and SVAG extensions). I can convert it to GENH and it plays fine, but this method lacks the looping information. Is this format even supported by VGMStream? If not, can anyone take a look and tell me where can I find the looping information in the header? I could at least do a GENH rip then.
I've uploaded the examples here. Let me know if you need more information. :)
- by Knurek at 12:12 PM EST on January 9, 2013
- hcs, while ripping PSP games I've ran into some ADX files that don't play with vgmstream.
Maybe it's this a new variant of encryption? Or just bad rips?
Anyways, I've uploaded samples from two games here. Let me know if you need more.
- by Knurek at 9:26 AM EST on January 10, 2013

- Hello. I wanted to mention i found two problems in the code for RSD3GADP demuxing.
First, vgmstream->num_samples and vgmstream->loop_end_sample are using the hardcoded offset 0x800 to calculate the number of samples, when they should be using the start_offset variable instead (Which gets its value from the actual RSD file).
Second problem is in the loop that fetches the adpcm coef table. It's using read_16bitBE when it should be using read_16bitLE, and it's starting from offset 0x1D when it should be starting from 0x1C.
You can test this using the sample in http://hcs64.com/files/in_cube_samples.zip (type_rsddsp - hum01.rsd), mainly the second problem which makes vgmstream decode the file wrong.
I'm thinking the second problem may also affect RSD6WADP (Using big endian instead of little endian), but i can't test it since i don't have any samples.
Anyway, that's it. Keep up the good work :)

- I was thinking something similar, except that they never really received permission to use VGMstream in the first place.... Or, at the least they never asked.... Still, it's nice that they at least showed some effort.... I wonder if others will notice or care. Meaning, I wonder if VGMstream will be used in other "projects" from other people, fans, or developers.
Anyway, yes, that was definitely worth a laugh. I liked that HCS was the only one actually named. Mouser X over and out.
- by Knurek at 12:41 PM EDT on March 15, 2013
- manakoAT and FastElbja are mentioned there as well - I don't believe the version they used had other contributors.
And I don't think they need to ask author's permission as long as they don't break the software license.

- Yep, afaict just for looping ogg, which is easy to code when you have libvorbis. I think they're in the clear legally that the license is shown.
They did botch the copy-paste job, though, the ISC has nothing to do with vgmstream beyond the text of the license. Oh well.

- Has anybody ever worked on the HWAS file format? This is what the song files (Containing the instruments that aren't Guitar or Bass) in the Guitar Hero: On Tour games are decoded as. There are rips that are leaked that recorded the songfile from the speaker in the game, and these don't sound good, and most attemps I've made to decode HWAS files have failed. Anybody tried to decode the HWAS file format? Thanks in advance.

but in light of some recent complaints registered in the JoshW archives thread, is there any chance of seeing vgmstream modified to work like plugins such as NEZPlug which can read M3U files and 'fake' metadata over the files the playlist loads? I mean, I'm assuming that it can be done, but I haven't the slightest idea how much work it would take.

BCSTM from Transformers Prime: The Game
Sir-Sabin got that out of the Wii game, so it seems like the developers accidentally mixed up the 3DS files in there. It's nice to have though since we'll hopefully be able to dump BCSTM streams through FCRAM soon.

it doesn't work. Im guessing i need to replace one of the text in that but I dont know what to replace.
- by Nisto at 3:42 PM EST on February 7, 2014
- @peronmls
replace "file_ext_here" with the proper extension for whatever you're converting.
Place the code in a .bat file, and place the .bat file in the same folder that the audio files are in. Also put test.exe in that folder, or alternatively specify an absolute path to test.exe. Here's a full example:
cd %~dp0
for %%i in (*.adx) do "C:\vgm tools\vgmstream\test.exe" -o "%%i.wav" "%%i"
You can add PAUSE on a new line at the end to see potential error messages or whatever (otherwise the window immediately closes).

- I'm sorry I have a noob question for Linux. Since vgmstream plugin doesn't support audacious 3.x, is there a way to use the test program to output to a player like vlc? I've tried this:
./test -p File.ssf | cvlc
but I don't get sound. In fact I haven't been able to get test to even convert to wav using this command:
./test -o dump.wav File.ssf
I guess I'm not understanding something? Is test not the same as vgmstream? If not, can I just bulid a vgmstream cli binary without audacious?

So now I have some .scd files from a 360 game which vgmstream is supposed to support and I have the same problem.
$ test -p music222.scd | cvlc
no sound
(don't even know if this is correct command)
$ test -o dump.wav music222.scd
bash: test: dump.wav: binary operator expected
but ideally I'd just like to play it back and not actually decode it.

- test is a bash command, if you want to run the executable called test in the current directory issue the command:
./test

- Oh I see. I had copied it to my bin/ directory and was running it from there. But now I get this:
$ ./test -p music191.scd | cvlc
failed opening music191.scd
$ ./test -o dump.wav music101.scd
failed opening music101.scd

- Did you install the external libraries?
sudo apt-get install libmpg123-0 libvorbis-dev
That might be all I had to install to get it working, but I don't remember.

- I doubt the program would run if the libraries were missing. It's possible that this file just isn't supported.

- There is a thread with a ported vgmstream plugin for audacious3 on here already

- I don`t know if this is even worth mentioning here but just in case someone is still confused about reasons for vgmstream`s inability to play back those files I`ll say (not even knowing the game`s name mind you) that the most obvious thing causing such behavior is containment of XMA streams in SCDs coming from a 360 game as you previously stated. As far as I know that`s not a disadvantage of just vgmstream as no other either multi-format or specialized player is capable of playing back XMAs instead of converting them to PCM WAV. SCDs vgmstream can and should support as of now are those used in PS3 versions of games which are merely containers for tracks encoded using the most standard MP3 & OGG codecs.
If you really want to make some use of those downloaded X360 version`s SCDs then you`ll most probably have to parse actual streams with xma_parse program by HCS, attach a common towav recognizable header to each one and only after doing all that you`ll probably get yourself a multitude of readily convertible XMAs. What can be the most bothersome in such a scenario is that offset for unparsed XMA stream inside original SCDs might vary greatly (in FF XIII there`re like 5 or 6 different values) so that you`ll have to look at every distinct track IE SCD with a help of some hex editor just to attempt figuring that value out by the looks of it.
Oh and finally (how could I not even think about such a possibility earlier)! I may still have and use a slightly outdated revision of the plugin in question so that it`s not able to play or decode to Wave any SCDs which don`t have the same values for frequency stated in headers for a container file and an actual contained stream. An update fixing that was released in the very end of 2013 so that you could miss it. Of course checking out if the last of these presumed possibilities is not an issue in your exact case still won`t solve the problem if SCDs don`t play because of XMAs inside but it`s worth some investigation nonetheless, am I right?

- Ok I got the audacious plugin to build but it seems that git repo hasn't been updated in some time so I'm guessing it's missing some features? I was able to get some wii music playing.

- aren't 360's scds ogg and the ps3's scds are mp3? that's what bx told me and i heard you can name them mp3 or ogg and they will play
EDIT: appears you can't rename the ogg ones

- um has anybody else used the audacious 3 plugin? For some reason it will stop playing a playlist of songs after around 5-10 or so and then I have to manually press play again for the next track to start. It then plays some more tracks in the playlist and stops again.
